From what I've seen, Black Butler is one of the better selling titles in America. It's volumes always seem to end up on NY Times bestselling manga list anyway. It's not really an issue of scanlations or fansubs(as the Japanese themselves upload HQ raws of anime for download, foreign streaming sites might just be more convient.)
It seems all but one of those messages she got were fans who had streamed the anime. That doesn't actually prove they're doing something horrible, it's still possible they might be buying the manga(money to mangaka), or could possibly buy DVD releases(money to anime studio). However, from what I've heard BB isn't that popular in Japan(might be wrong), so hearing this from an mangaka who's career might depend on her small audience actually buying her product adds some weight to her(completely overdramatic) words.
